Bank robber sought for attempted heist

Surveillance photo

A man allegedly tried to rob a Mayfair bank on Saturday afternoon, but in the middle of the hold-up, he turned and ran away empty handed.

At about 2:45 p.m., the robber entered the Citizens Bank branch inside the Acme supermarket at 6601 Roosevelt Blvd. and handed a threatening demand note to a teller. That’s when he had an apparent change of heart and fled. He was described as white, in his 20s, about 6 feet tall and thin with a reddish-brown goatee beard, a black Adidas jacket with white stripes down the sleeves, black shorts and a black baseball cap.
